My wife and I have two cats: a Siamese (Yoko), and a tiger (Frisbee). They
are called various things.
Yoko Princess - this is not a compliment, but reflects the fact that she
feels she owns the house [as it has been said, the Egyptians
worshipped cats, and the cats have never forgotten].
Yuko - when she had ringworm once.
Dances on Cars - my wife came up with this one (derivation obvious)
... it's my favorite.
Frisbee Butt-head - we call him this just as much as his real name. He tends
to rub and "butt" things all the time. The Nickelodeon add "your
boss is a butt-head" made us think of this.
